Practicums & Internships
Current Opportunities
Students in the School of Journalism and Electronic Media are required to gain practical professional experience relevant to their degree program. This often takes place in the form of practicums and internships.The School has a number of relationships with local media that provide these opportunities.
Several foundations and firms also offer competitive internships in specialized areas. These often offer students access to larger media and markets. Some offer scholarships or stipends, or the opportunity to also pick up additional course credits, in addition to professional experience. Students are encouraged to pursue other internship opportunities as well.
